Reading Sophie Kinsella

I just got finished all of the 'Shopaholic' books by Sophie Kinsella. They were so great! I read all five of them back-to-back because I just had to know what happened next, lol. I completely fell in love with Becky. She was incredible, funny, hilarious, addicting! I was so into the story line that I couldn't put the books down. Seriously. I loved them! If you have not read them, or if you have not read them all, you need to!

1.
Confessions of a Shopaholic

Meeting Famous People

As you may or may not know, I work at a company that is a group of 4 Spanish radio stations and 1 English station, in Bakersfield, CA. (The Spanish Radio Group- Radio Lobo 102.9 FM, Concierto 92.1 FM, El Gallito 1010 AM & ESPN Deportes 1490 AM along with The Max 96.5 FM).

In working here, I have met some cool people... musicians.


Here is a photo of when I met Banda El Recodo De Don Cruz Lizarraga. They were so nice and friendly. Very great guys! They are a traditional Mexican band with flutes, trumpets, clarinets, etc... they are about 16 band members total, and only about 8 of them came out to our radio station on this day. This band has been around for many, many decades. They are know all around Mexico and amongst Mexicans everywhere! They have a lot of great hits, the most recent being "Te Presumo"... I love that song!!! :)


Now here I am with the guys of Los Tucanes De Tijuana. To be honest with you, I was a little surprised to see that the lead singer, next to me in a blue dress shirt and dark gray blazer, was shorter than me. I thought he was taller! Anyway, they have some music I do not care for, but they have some music that is incredible! "Mundo De Amor" has been a great romantic hit since it came out more than 10 years ago! I loved it then, I love it now. They are great at the romantic hits!



Now here is the latest musician I have met... El Coyote. He was part of a few bands before getting out as a soloist. He is great. He has had some great hits like one my husband loves "Prohibido"... and "Y Si Te Robo" amongst many others. He has a great voice!



Well. there you have it... some musicians I have met. I'm sure I will be posting more photos later, as we have a few big events coming up with the radio stations, which will include a lot of great musicians... :) This is such a cool industry to work in!!

Shopaholic Takes Manhattan

I just finished reading Shopaholic Takes Manhattan and it was such a great read! I loved it! Made me laugh, giggle and even made me feel some tears in my eyes at times! I just loved this book.
If you have read Confessions Of A Shopaholic then you have to read Shopaholic Takes Manhattan. And now that I finshed reading it, I know I just HAVE to read Shopaholic Ties The Knot and the other books in the series that follow Becky Bloomwood and her hilarious ways! :)
I love how Sophie Kinsella, the author, writes! It truly feels like you can see it all happening, right before your eyes. I felt like I was there, in New York, at the shops, in Barneys, in Sephora getting a makeover! And, omg, the spa scene is hilarious! A crystal tattoo where?! LOL

I'm telling you, you have to read this! You will enjoy it, just like I did! I can't wait for the movie to come out, I will be the first in line! :) I believe it comes out this Friday, February 13th!!
So, with this, I complete my goal of reading a new book in February. Next up... Shopaholic Ties The Knot! Can't wait... I think I'm going by to the store tonight and buying it so I can read it before seeing the movie this weekend!! =D We'll see... I will "keep you posted" lol.
